C.N. Vair (she/her) is a horror and dark fantasy author living in Western New York. A former journalist, she's interested in the history and haunted corners of small towns, the magic and malice of the natural world, and power in all its forms. When she's not writing, you can find her wandering in woods and cemeteries, growing poisonous plants in her garden, or spending time with her husband and dogs.
An unflinching Appalachian horror and a book filled with bite, brutality, tenderness and evil. I loved it -- Lucy Rose, Sunday Times bestselling author of THE LAMB A lush, eerie, utterly spellbinding contemporary tale with all the makings of a classic, elegantly rendered by an exciting new talent. Exquisitely unsettling, hauntingly beautiful, and quietly profound. Beware, this book is pretty but it has sharp teeth. -- Rachel Harrison, New York Times bestselling author of PLAY NICE C.N. Vair has cast such a spell over me with her bewitching debut, I doubt any other book will ever break it. Sell your soul, sign your name in the Devil's ledger, just do whatever you have to do to get your hands on this book. Damnation never read this good. -- Clay McLeod Chapman, author of GHOST EATERS A compulsively readable, propulsive tale of what it means to bare your teeth and reclaim what belongs to you. Even if the cost is great. I didn’t want to leave Tess’ world and am still thinking about it days later. This is the sort of book I’ll revisit again and again. -- Kristi DeMeester, author of DARK SISTERS and SUCH A PRETTY SMILE C.N. Vair conjures a world of blighted beauty, old magic, and terrible appetites. Fawn is spellbinding, vicious, and impossible to look away from. -- Daphne Fama, author of HOUSE OF MONSTROUS WOMEN
